Calgary is a city of prosperity and potential—but not for everyone.
Behind our beautiful skyline are real struggles: poverty, isolation, addiction and mental health challenges. Nearly half of us are just $200 away from not being able to meet their financial obligations. These numbers represent neighbours, friends and families struggling to get by.
Your compassion changes lives in our community. It can mean their fresh start, their groceries or their sense of security. Together, we can help Calgarians turn a corner from despair to hope.
With your help, we partner with local agencies and charities to meet urgent needs and create long-term solutions—providing essential resources for critical areas like employment, housing and education, creating safety and stability through access to violence prevention initiatives and safe shelters, building connection through programs for newcomers, youth mentorship and community connection and expanding access to mental health services like counselling and crisis lines.
We see the need. And united, we can meet it. Learn more at calgaryunitedway.org.
